She Don't Tell Me To

Any other woman I know would have tried,

To control me and it would be over.

Plannin' on goin' on my own way attitude.

All of that stubbornness just melts away,

Haruka woke up the next morning to her alarm going off at 6:15. She didn't want to get up and have to face her daughter, but Haruka got up and went to take a shower. When she was all done, she emerged from the bathroom dressed. She walked down the hall to her daughter's room.

When Haruka got there, she pushed the door opened to find that her daughter was already up. So Haruka walked downstairs to find Gwendalyn.

"Gwendalyn?" Haruka yelled, butt she never got an answer. She walked into the living room to find Gwendalyn asleep on the couch.

She grabbed a blanket and covered her daughter up. Then Haruka grabbed the phone and began dialing Makoto's number on the way to the kitchen.

"Hello?" A sleepily voice said.

"Who is this?" Haruka asked because she knew that it wasn't Makoto's voice.

"Um…Makoto it's for you."

"Hello?" Makoto asked.

"It's Ruka. Who was that?"

There a long pause before Makoto said, "No one, why?"

"You're lying to me."

"So?"

"Whatever." Haruka paused. "Anyway, the reason that I called is that there has been a change in plans and Gwen isn't going over to your apartment."

"Oh…ok." Makoto paused. "This isn't because I won't tell you who answer the phone is it?"

"Nope, it isn't. I just think that Gwen spends more time with you when Michiru here."

"Oh good, I thought that I was the reason." Makoto happily said. "Any who, happy anniversary Ruka!"

"Thanks Makoto."

"Your welcome."

"I let you go so that you and the mystery person can do whatever you were doing."

"I can't believe that you would even think that!" Makoto shrieked.

"You walked right into it. Bye!" Haruka said laughing.

"Bye."

Haruka hung up the phone and walked back to the living room. When she got to the living room, she put the phone on the charger and kneeled down in front of the couch.

"Hey Gwen, I need you to get up." Haruka softly said as she gently shook her daughter.

"No."

"I need you to get up and help me find a present for Michiru."

"Why?"

"Because you have to help me."

"What if I don't want to?" Gwendalyn said as she opened her eyes.

"Then I'm gonna make you go to school." Haruka paused. "And you'll have to go to Makoto's to spend the night."

"Ok." Gwendalyn paused. "Aren't I already going to Makoto's?"

"Nope. I called and told her that you weren't going. She seemed really happy."

"Ok."

"Now go get dressed. We only have like eight hours to get everything ready."

"All right."

Gwendalyn hugged her mother and then ran up the stairs. Haruka hoped that whatever was upsetting her daughter was now gone.

Thanks to Leo Sky for telling me that I screwed up Haruka's age. For everyone who read chapter 3, Haruka was sixteen when she had Gwendalyn. So in this story Haruka is twenty-one years old. I realized that I screwed it up again when I was reading back through the chapter. Oh well… at least it's fixed now. Last but not least, thanks to everyone who has reviewed and their suggestions. It really helped me out a lot. Let me know what you guys think!
